‘This process of getting better is challenging’: Jedd Fisch chats about Washington Huskies’ improving process
By Ethan Lee
Whether or not Washington Husky fans are happy about it, their favorite college football team happens to be in a rebuild project. And that stinks. It truly does. It’s not fun for really anyone. Jedd Fisch probably isn’t having any real fun as the Huskies lose against good teams like the Indiana Hoosiers. Coaches are competitive people and they don’t enjoy suffering defeat.
But, well, this is just a decent reminder that Washington is in a bit of a rebuild project. And while there are some folks who will point to the instant success that Curt Cignetti is having with Indiana, it’s worth considering how that’s likely an anomaly and should not be considered as the norm.
It’s also probably worth wondering how sustainable of a building process that is. You can just ask the Florida State Seminoles about how quickly fortunes can turn, folks.
Anyways, back to Washington and Fisch. Following the Huskies’ road loss to the Hoosiers, the head coach in charge of Washington brought up how this is a process. It’s not exactly an exact science. And it’s also not an easy thing to do in most cases.

In his postgame press conference, Fisch noted that Washington is working through this process of trying to build. It’s a bit of a day-by-day sort of thing.
“This process of getting better is challenging,” Fisch noted.
That’s probably not what some Washington Husky fans want to hear, but it’s also not the worst thing ever. Keeping realistic, grounded, healthy expectations is, generally speaking, a good thing for someone to do when approaching college sports fandom.
“This process of continuing each week to improve, when you go on the road two weeks in a row, you kind of feel it sometimes,” Fisch said.
And while there might not be a ton of Washington Husky fans that are thrilled and happy right now, the Huskies are still in the midst of competing this season. There are four games left and there’s still some time to salvage some of this season, even if it hasn’t been what some folks wanted.
“You know we're playing good teams, it's hard to get good sometimes right away, you know?” Fisch said.
The head coach of the Huskies also discussed how this process can take some time, but Washington definitely needs to deliver some tangible results to prove that they’re improving.
“I don't think there's a question when I watch us that there's moments that we're getting better. The question becomes now you've got to get better against opponents, you got to get better each week, you got to get better when you go on the road against Iowa or on the road against an 8-0 Indiana team,” Fisch explained.
We’ll see how the Huskies do as they close out the remainder of this season. They’ve got a chance to make it to a bowl game. They can even derail the season for a few teams. Here’s to hoping that UW can find success down the stretch with the last four regular season games.
